Dear Refugee/Migrant Activists and supporters of the Caravan For the rights of Refugees and Migrants

In view of the upcoming open Caravan meeting in Berlin, to take place on the 23rd and 24th of this month (June 2018) in Mehringhof (Gneisenaustr. 2A, 10961 Berlin - U Mehringdamm), we are inviting you to take part in our preparation meeting to host the Caravan Network here in Berlin.

The preparation meeting is scheduled for Saturday, the 9th of this month (June 2018)

The ‘Alliance Shut Down Gottlieb-Daimler-Straße’ of inhabitants from the camp and supporters in solidarity calls for the demonstration. Demonstration: Tuesday, May 15, 2018, 5 pm, meeting point Bremen Hauptbahnhof

The camp at Gottlieb-Daimler-Straße is located in a remote location next to the steelworks in Oslebshausen. The living conditions are catastrophic: 90 young people live crammed together in a large metal tent without privacy, the ventilation system is loud and dries out the air, and in the summer the tents become unbearably warm.

With a strong and powerful fist raised towards the sky, we The VOICE Refugee Forum salute the bravery and courage of our fellow refugee brothers and sisters, for valiantly preventing the callous and inhuman deportation of a Togolese refugee and defending his right to human dignity.

In the early morning of March 14, 2018, a deportation was successfully prevented in the Donauwörth reception centre. Afterwards, a large police operation was carried out in the afternoon. Those residents who were in their rooms were locked in, both entrance and exit doors of the reception centre had been locked as well. Room searches and identity checks were carried out.
